Mystery Revealed

I was supposed to reveal the identity of the dude from my 'add the caption ' post yesterday. Or as Moe Greene calls him "Soul Harp".

I'd like to say I was busy studying or trying to keep up at work, but the reality is, I'm just lazy... I'm going through one of those periods again. I've got several things I want to blog about but I can't seem to find the energy to force myself to write.

But revealing the identity of "Soul Harp" is pretty straight forward, how I found him is a bit more complicated.

The guy in the office next to me has been listening to this god-awful R&B station every morning for the last week or so... The music is really bad... Gerald Levertt, Luther Vandross circa 1993, with a mix of more modern stuff every now and then. And the few good songs they have (Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" for example) gets over played to the point of annoyance.

The worst part is, the music is the best part about this station!

The morning crew is god awful. They spent an entire segment on Monday trying to joke about the R.Kelly verdict but they couldn't even come up with one single semi-funny joke which is really amazing when you think about it because R.Kelly jokes write themselves... Anyway, the show was so bad I had to check the station out for myself online.

The morning host was predictably lame, but then I stumbled across the now legendary picture of the Sunday morning DJ, "Soul Harp".

Soul Harp's real name, or real stage name I should say, is Jeff Majors. Here's his bio, I've taken the liberty of putting some of my favorite parts in bold:

Jeff Majors… a man with a musical ministry. His instrument is the classical harp. His repertoire consists of traditional, contemporary gospel and meditative melodies accentuated by stirring lyrics and innovative arrangements. His albums offer healing for those who seek peace and spiritual comfort. The sound and scope of Jeff Majors is nothing short of visionary. He is truly a man ahead of his time. Jeff Majors’ two latest releases, Sacred Meditations and Sacred Six, are the next levels in the twelve-step program of spiritual healing and timeless understanding. The Sacred Series is a collection of 12 CDs and cassettes embracing a wide spectrum of special occasions and moments in one’s life that inspire worship and praise. These are what Jeff refers to as “reality checks” or intuitive insights into the musical blessings that God intends for us to share. Sacred Meditations delves into the meditative side of gospel tranquility. It is the first meditation album by Jeff Majors combining instrumental music with nature’s sounds. It offers a peaceful sanctuary for those seeking comfort in these fearful times. With the world in turmoil and confusion surrounding us all, Sacred Meditations helps the soul elevate to a place of comfort. This album transcends religious boundaries and appeals to all people who are searching for inner peace. Sacred Meditations provides a wonderful background for the escape of worldly concerns and the centering of ones spirit. Sacred Meditations features five songs, “Come In”, “Vapor”, “Spirit Walk”, “Satisfy” and “Natural Path”.

I guess the main question I have for Jeff is- if you're such a visionary, why does it take you 12 CDs to heal my soul?
